The tortoise quickly said，"Please let me go!"But the old gardener shook his head，"No way."
"My kind master，if you really want to punish me，"continued the poor tortoise，"I will not fight back because I'm the one that is guilty.But，no matter what you decide，please don't drown（淹死）me in the water.It's too painful to die that way."
